At SWTOR , the Eternal Championship has been postponed to a later date. We have all the information for you.
The arena still needs polishing
The planned “Eternal Championship” in Star Wars: The Old Republic, an arena for the player where they are supposed to experience 10 different fights that will also help them significantly in developing their character, has been postponed again.
Thus, it will not be part of Chapter 11 (Patch 4.2) of the “Knights of the Fallen Empire” storyline. Community Manager Eric Musco announced this in the official forum and provided some reasons for this decision. They are still not convinced that they can deliver a fun feature that meets their own quality standards.
They have also decided to bring the Eternal Championship to the test realm to have it thoroughly tested by the community beforehand. However, there is still no fixed date for this, and it seems there won’t be one in the near future – because they plan to provide new information only in “4-6 weeks”.
The postponement also means that the announced Wookiee companion Bowdaar, who is a “reward” for the arena fights, will also not be included in Patch 4.2 (thus Chapter 12).
Mein-MMO thinks: Postponing announced content once is already annoying, twice is just irritating for the fans, as the people at BioWare surely know.
Given how long and thoroughly the Eternal Championship has been discussed, it is surprising that the feature is still in a state that they don’t want to subject to the players. There is a great risk that the PvE arena is slowly turning into a running gag, but one that is not funny.
The decision to bring the Eternal Championship to the test realm now seems a bit desperate: “Tell us what doesn’t work” could be inferred from this move. It’s no wonder that comments on Dulfy.net (source) are already tearing it apart.
